The Dubai to India route is quite a prized one. Thousands of tourists and Indian expatriates in the UAE use it each year for the sake of tourism, to meet their loved ones, or for business purposes. If you have been to Dubai International Airport (DXB) before, there is a really high chance of your gaze stumbling upon a flight from this route. For this reason, airlines continue to announce additional perks for flights to India. Emirates is also doing the same. The largest international airline is bringing its flagship A380 to Dubai-Delhi route from 25 October 2026. Sounds great, right?
Basically, from later this year, Emirates double-decker flights are going to operate on the busy Dubai-Delhi route, connecting the UAE’s tourism hub to the capital of India. The A380 is going to operate on flights EK512/513 in a four-class configuration.
But is that all there is to the latest announcement from Emirates? Not at all. There is another announcement. Soon, Emirates is going to operate four daily flights to and from Dubai to Delhi. Plus, all four of these daily flights are going to feature Premium Economy seats. From more affordable pricing to spacious cream leather seats, generous legroom and recline, refined dining and an extensive range of amenities, Emirates Premium Economy cabins offer unmatched and unmissable experiences. Finally, all daily Dubai-Delhi route flights are going to have four cabin classes, ensuring more comfortable journeys for all.
But Delhi is not the only Indian destination that has got a boost. Other major destinations are also going to benefit from the latest announcement from Emirates, such as Dubai-Kolkata flights. Plus, the airline is continuously enhancing things on the ground, too.
What’s Changing for Emirates Dubai-Delhi Route?
Soon, passengers on Emirates Dubai-Delhi route are going to enjoy expanded options. There are going to be four cabin classes on all daily Dubai to Delhi flights, including the special Premium Economy. Operated by the A380 aircraft, Emirates Premium Economy is going to feature on EK513, in addition to the Boeing 777-operated EK511, EK515 and EK517. Subsequently, by the end of October, the airline is going to bring its special cabin to six Indian destinations, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Kochi.
What’s Changing for Emirates Dubai-Kolkata Route?
From 25 October 2026, Emirates’ next-gen A350 is going to serve the daily Dubai-Kolkata route, precisely EK570/571.

Simultaneously, on the regular EK572/573 flights operated by the four-class retrofitted B777, Premium Economy is going to come across all regular flights on the Dubai to Kolkata route, bringing additional flexibility and comfort at better prices.
